Yazatas

Yazatas are divine or holy beings in Zoroastrianism, representing aspects of divine nature or natural forces revered as pure and good. They serve as intermediaries between Ahura Mazda (the supreme god) and humans, embodying virtues such as truth, righteousness, and protection. Yazatas are honored through rituals and prayers, helping believers align their lives with divine principles. They are distinct from Ahuras, emphasizing positive qualities and natural elements like fire, water, and earth, reflecting the religion’s emphasis on harmony between humans and the natural world.
